UNH Law’s IP graduates are ready to hit the ground running. They have a broad foundation in the law; they know how to write briefs and prosecute patents. And, as someone who hires and trains new lawyers, that means I can start at a higher, more sophisticated level with them.

Program Options

An LLM degree is offered for those with either a U.S. law degree or the international equivalent; a Master's degree is offered for non-lawyers. Both degrees are offered with full- and part-time options - the Masters program requires the completion of 30 credits, and the LLM program requires the completion of 24 credits.

Fits Your Schedule

Our online IP program was built to promise maximum flexibility, allowing candidates to obtain a degree on either a full- , part-time or limited residency basis, meaning you won't have to move or leave your job to meet the requirements. There are entry points in the fall and spring, and our limited residency option allows students to complete the fall semester in-residence, with all remaining semesters completed full- or part-time online.

World-Class Faculty

Our online IP courses are taught by full-time UNH Law faculty and select adjunct faculty with significant practical expertise in the field. UNH Law and the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property have a global reputation for teaching professionals and students about intellectual property in an academically rigorous, supportive and collaborative learning environment.

Courses That Matter

Our online courses are drawn in part from our patent law and practice curriculum, among the most comprehensive in the country, and all of our online offerings touch on current issues shaping IP law today.
